The laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone froze in place, leaving only the sound of their breathing in the entire venue.
At that moment, they all looked at Korata, unable to close their mouths that had been laughing moments before. After a long pause, Takashi was the first to react.
"What's going on, Mr. Korata? Do you know what you're saying? Alexander is the creator of Sakura-chan, what does he have to do with us?"
Takashi felt that Korata might have been hurt when he was taken away or had some kind of shock; otherwise, how could he say such crazy things?
Meanwhile, others wore similar expressions of disbelief. Knowing this, Korata still mustered the courage to speak.
From the moment he was captured, to when Altair spoke, to when everyone watched the Re:Creators anime together, and when Altair discussed their purpose, he said everything he heard which made the people in the room change their expressions.
Of course aside from Alexander and Sakura who were watching their expressions from laughing, bewildered, shocked, realising, then shock again to panic.
"No... this... how is it possible! You mean that we not only created the anime world but our world was also drawn by someone? How is that possible! Mr. Korata, you can't make such a joke with us!"
Nakanogane grabbed Korata's arm, shaking him desperately, trying to make him take back what he said, but Korata stood firm.
"I know you don't believe it, but what I said is true. If you don't believe me, Mr. Alexander must have that anime."
For a moment, all eyes were on Alexander, who nodded silently, confirming that he indeed had the anime.
Alexander approached Aki Kikuchihara and took out his mobile phone, saying, 'Please project this.'
With trembling hands, Aki took the phone. Looking at the content on the screen, she felt her entire worldview being shattered.
'Impossible... this is impossible,' she muttered, but still followed Alexander's instructions and projected it. She tried to comfort herself, but the truth was undeniable.
As the animation played on the screen, everyone slumped in their seats, especially those like Selesia. They thought they had come to the real world from the animation world, but now realised there was another layer of reality beyond their own. This realisation caused panic from the inside out.
"I... I thought that Takashi was my creator, but now it seems, if Takashi is the creator, then who created the creator?' Selesia stared at Alexander, and seeing her intense expression, Alexander felt quite helpless.
"Don't look at me like that. If Takashi is your father, then I'm your grandfather?"
"Damn! Why are you her grandfather? Then that makes you my father!" Takashi reacted immediately, confused by the sudden familial connections.
On the other hand, Yuya Mirokuji, who had just grasped the situation, found it amusing.
"Hahaha, it's even more interesting! There is a world beyond the world! Seeing you creators like this makes me feel more balanced."
Yuya Mirokuji was in a good mood, his resentment having dissipated somewhat. "And, what's more interesting is, Nakanogane, compared to you, Alexander, who is so powerful and handsome, looks more like the creator."
Huh? Yuya Mirokuji is praising me? Not bad, he thought.
Meanwhile, Rui Kanoya, who was a new descendant character remained silent, processing the revelation. "It's not that shocking; anyway, I was drawn by someone, so it's not hard to understand being created by a higher-level being."
After saying this, Kanoya returned to his usual demeanour, showing a surprisingly big heart for such a young person.
At that moment, the calm Meteora focused on Alexander and quickly made a correct analysis. "No wonder Alexander's information can't be found even by the Ministry of Defense, no wonder Alexander's strength is so great, and no wonder Alexander is always in control of the situation. If Alexander created this world, then everything that seemed wrong makes sense, right?"
Instantly, everyone who heard Meteora's words realised the truth. Everything about Alexander now made sense. Wait, that means Alexander really is their Creator!?
